KIRK PENTON, QMI Agency

His totals were skewed by a late 72-yard touchdown catch, but they all count. Bomber slotback Terrence Edwards had six catches, 113 receiving yards and a team-leading 12th major.

Top defensive player

Montreal linebacker Chip Cox had five tackles, a special teams tackle, and ended the Winnipeg threat when he forced the Terence Jeffers-Harris fumble he then recovered on the second-last play of the contest.

Top special teams player

The game won’t be remembered for its strong special teams play, so we’ll give it to Matthieu Proulx for a 22-yard run on Montreal’s fake punt for a first down in the second quarter. It took even more wind out of the Bomber sails.

Key play

Again, it’s a Winnipeg turnover deep in enemy territory that seems to turn the tide. Steven Jyles tried to find Greg Carr deep in the end zone from five yards out, which would have given the Bombers an 18-2 lead in the second quarter, but Jyles’ arm was hit as he released it — he was going to throw it up anyway — and Mark Estelle made the pick. The Bombers didn’t score again until there was 1:13 left in the fourth.

Smack of the match

No slobberknockers, but Als defensive tackle J.P. Bekasiak shook up Jyles when he fell on him during a sack in the second quarter. Jyles left for the rest of the drive, but returned in the third quarter.
